Billions of dollars burried. By how? "An explosion and fire on a drilling rig on
April 20" Now general publics are wondering question such as "who has to pay for clean up costs." First of all, the cost of this trage will over "$4billion." Imagine what can you do with 4 billion? You can purchase 1 million fancy sport cars. Secondly, who has to take responsible for this accident? It is obvious that company who did oil spill must pay for it. But does general public have to share expenses? The answers no. The administration already said the primary leaseholder BP will pay the entire cost. Although BP is liable for everything, President Obama "proposed legislation" in order to help people who get affected by the accident. This legislation, strengtening the fund for this people by imposing "Higher tax on oil companies" Problem dealing with money is not entirely covering the whole issue. The destruction of environments are big issues as well. A number of sea animals "have been found dead along the gulf coast." It seems like that the death of sea animals are realated to this accident. However, by the research, Researchers could not find any "external evidence" or still in "the discovery phase." To sum up, "more than 400,000 gallons of dispersant" used to stablized the spill. People should always be careful all the time in order to prevent those kind of accident previously.
